One can refer gamit of articles Yadav_(disambiguation) by various communities including historical, mythological reference, pre-sanskritization, sanskritization, modern, post-indepdence. Good to improve this articles using pre-sanskritization reference for example:
A book written long before sanskritisation by James Todd "Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan 1829" [1]
The article mentions “non elite” in the header which is derogatory and non representative of existing facts. The grouping that exists today is comprised of mixed representation, both elite and non elites, and terming the whole community or grouping as non elite is somewhat biased and inappropriate presentation.

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Change non elite peasant pastoral to traditionally agricultural community.
The glossary given in refrence also refers to Jats as non elite, but it was removed from, the article as no consensus was obtained on the topic, similarly here also all the editors have tried to provide the refrences and no one is objecting so the consensus is built for the change.

Honestly speaking, this version represents the consensus version among experienced editors. Achieving a fresh consensus is a difficult and lengthy process, especially since your request is regarding the lede, which must have been written carefully after discussions or through an implicit consensus! Thanks. Ekdalian (talk) 13:24, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But this lead was given at the time around 2005 and after that many castes pages like Jat have removed the word to match the current status of the community and the source given for non elite is weak source, WP:SOURCE, So which experienced editor should i tag? 2409:40D0:1C:12D9:E092:C420:EED3:EE4B (talk) 08:21, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Quote: "The movement, which had a wide interregional spread, attempted to submerge regional names such as Goala, Ahir, Ahar, Gopa, etc., in favour of the generic term Yadava (Rao 1979). Hence a number of pastoralist castes were subsumed under Yadava, in accordance with decisions taken by the regional and national level caste sabhas. The Yadavas became the first among the shudras to gain the right to wear the janeu, a case of successful sanskritisation which continues till date. As a prominent agriculturist caste in the region, despite belonging to the shudra varna, the Yadavas claimed Kshatriya status tracing descent from the Yadu dynasty. The caste's efforts matched those of census officials, for whom standardisation of overlapping names was a matter of policy. The success of the Yadava movement also lies in the fact that, among the jaati sabhas, the Yadava sabha was probably the strongest, its journal, Ahir Samachar, having an all-India spread. These factors strengthened local efforts, such as in Bhojpur, where the Yadavas, locally known as Ahirs, refused to do begar, or forced labour, for the landlords and simultaneously prohibited liquor consumption, child marriages, and so on."

[187] The term "Yadav" covers many castes which initially had different names: Ahir in the Hindi belt, Punjab and Gujarat, Gavli in Maharashtra, Gola in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka etc. Their traditional common function, all over India, was that of Zameendaars, cowherds and Land owner . [188] In practice, the Yadavs today spend most of their time tilling the land. At the turn of the century in the Central Provinces two-thirds of Ahirs were already cultivators and Zameendaar while less than one third raised cattle and dealt with milk and milk products.Cite error: The named reference "Jaffrelot2003p187" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).
